"Spiiiike! Are those sandwiches ready yet? I need to pick up my order from Sugarcube Corner right now!" yelled an impatient Twilight

"It's almost done, don't get too excited Twilight, it's just lunch." said Spike with an annoyed expression on his face. Spike could never really hide the fact that he's annoyed with Twilight sometimes, what with all the clutter she makes after hours of research and all the chores he does for her. But Twilight's the only family he knows, and he can certainly manage that, but nopony said he can't be irritated by it. "Just sit down on the couch and I'll the ready in just a bit, okay Twi?" he said, returning to his work. Spike wasn't sure what to put on Isaac's sandwich since he wasn't really familiar with the boy, so he just put tohether what looked like a BLT sandwich, without the B.

"Alright, her you go." he gave her the basket full of sandwiches and some fruits to Twilight, she inspected it and once again, her number one assistant didn't let her down when it came to preparing food.

"They look delicious Spike, thanks!" she hugged him for a short while and walked out the door then proceeded to Sugarcube Corner where the cupcakes she ordered was waiting for her. Spike could only sigh as he sees that he has more chores to do in the library.

"Wonder why Twilight's so excited today, it's just lunch...." he grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor, "...Right?".

"Well, it seems that you've regained your strength quite quickly miss Heartstrings." said the doctor while checking up on Lyra, "You must've had a good night sleep last night, I'll just have your paperwork done and you can leave anytime you want."

"Thanks doctor, my friend really helped me out." she said while she looked at Isaac who was still asleep, beside her.

"Alright then, be careful from now on miss Heartstrings okay? And you should really make a curfew for yourself, just to regulate your sleeping habits again."

"I will doctor, thanks again" she said, the doctor proceeded out the door, "Hey, Isaac, wake up." Lyra tried shaking him to wake up but it proved to be fruitless, "Come on Isaaaaaac~" she tried speaking near one of his ears, it worked seeing that he shifted his position while Lyra was doing that. He was now facing her directly, and she spoke to his ear again. She did not anticipate what Isaac did next and was now trapped in his hug, she couldn't wiggle her way out of his rtight embrace or rather she didn't even try to get out of it, she didn't do anything and just hugged back. They stayed like that for quite some time until Isaac finally woke up with Lyra resting in his arms, she apparently drifted off to sleep after a few minutes.

"Lyra? It's time to get up, it's almost noon." he said while gently shaking her. Lyra didn't show any signs of waking up, "C'mon Lyraaaa~" he said to one of her ears, and she finally woke up.

"Good morning sleepy head." she said jn a sluggish tone

"Says the one waking up at 12 in the afternoon." he said jokingly.

"Hey, I woke up before you did and just took a quick nap" she protested

"Riiiiight, sure you did." he said sarcastically.

"I did! I even talked to the doctor while you were sleeping!"

"Suuuure you did" Isaac was really starting to annoy Lyra, so she just crossed her forelegs and looked away from him. Isaac could only laugh at the mare for her attitude, "You really remind of someone I know back in our world.." Lyra looked back at him, curious of who he was talking about.

"I do?"

"Yeah, I used to tease her a lot and she would do the exact same thing you did just now."

"Her? So it was a girl?"

"Yeah, a friend of mine. Actually, a childhood friend of mine.." Isaac remembered his friends back at his own world, his family, and his love..or rather ex-love.

"You really miss your home, huh?" she said as she grabbed Isaac's hand

"Yeah, I'd do anything to go back." he said while grabbing her hoof as well, suddenly, an idea flashed inside Lyra's mind.

"Anything?" she said coldly, Isaac took notice of her sudden change in tone.

"Y-yeah, anything...why?" he was now curious of Lyra's response

"What if I told you, I know a way for you to get back home? Something not even Twilight knows about."

Isaac couldn't help but get excited at her statement, "You know how to take me back? Really??" he said while grabbing Lyra's shoulders and looking deeply into her eyes, which made her a bit uneasy, but she kept her cool attitude. If she wanted Isaac to get the message she intends for him to recieve, she would have to keep a calm expression

"Yes, I just recently found a spell that involves humans and crossing to their world, but there is a condition."

"Wait, maybe we should consult Twilight first, I mean she's researching as well for my sake, I wouldn't want all her hardwork to be put to waste"

"We can't, this is a spell that was banned from Equestria, if Twilight were to find out, she would surely report me to Princess Celestia and who knows what whe might do to me...and you!"

"Wait, if it was banned, then how do you know of it?" Isaac was starting to become suspicious of Lyra's suggestion.

"I found it in the book Twilight gave me, apparently it was banned because they never really figured out what would happen if the spell was complete, but I do! I tried it out and it worked perfectly!"

"How would you know if it worked?"

"The pony, or in your case, person that will be transported to your world must have a certain connection to the caster, and if it works, the caster would feel a slight pain in their chest, siginifying that their heart was "broken" because that person is now forever gone"

"And it happened to you?" he said, with a worried expression, "But who did you test it out on?"

"It was my cat, Strings, sure enough I did feel my heart ache when she left" Lyra said, putting on a good show of being depressed of the loss of an imaginary pet.

"I'm sorry about that." he said while proceeding to hug Lyra, which she returned as well.

"It's okay, I really want you to go back to your own world and I am willing to sacrifice anything for that to happen."

"You didn't have to do that Lyra, but thanks...you're a great friend"

"So are you in?" she held out her hoof to shake.

"I'm in" Isaac shaked Lyra's hoof, sealing his fate in her master plan.

"Perfect, and not a word to Twilight, think of an excuse for her not to research anymore, okay?"

"Okay, I'll do it at lunch later.." Lyra almost forgot that they were having lunch with Twilight today.

"Oh, right...wonder when she's coming, I'm star- huh?" Lyra quickly turned to the door and she could have sworn she saw a purple flash from outside the door. "I think she's here, could you check out the door Isaac?"

Isaac did as he was told and proceeded to the door only to find an empty hallway, "No one was there."

"That's weird" Lyra thought, little did she know that Twilight was just there and heard their entire conversation, she teleported herself right at the entrance of the clinic which startled some ponies.

"I wonder what spell Lyra's talking about, and I only gave her two books and I'm pretty sure only one of them was a spell book" she thought about it for a moment and tried to remember what were the books she lended to Lyra while walking towards her room as if she was just arriving, and as she was just about to grab the handle with her magic, she suddenly remembered what Lyra was talking about, "This can't be good..." she opened the door to Lyra's room and she was greeted with smiles and friendly greetings, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Whatever Lyra found in that book was bad news and she has to talk her out of it before anypony and anybody gets hurt.

"I need to hava a little chat with Lyra later..."
